I’m a terrible employee...but all seems to be fine? I literally work 10-15 leisurely hours a week on this client and bill 40. Usually, i just log into zoom meetings and say a few adlibs throughout the meeting. Everyone seems to take my performance fairly well...even in formal feedback meetings. Is this normal?

Well not everyone is a rockstar employee so I’d say it’s pretty normal.

Lemme guess, you're also doing the bare minimum to outperform the other analyst on the project? I am you as well.

Not even. I don’t aim to be a top performer. I just do the bare minimum to keep on the client 😂

Thank you for making me feel validated! I have little motivation & am on my phone a lot during the day/during calls, but I also get great feedback & think I do a pretty good job on the deliverables I work on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
